Australian Soon-to-Be Property Billionaire Jamie McIntyre Eyes Bold Expansion in Indonesia with Planned Mini-Cities

Australian soon-to-be property billionaire and independent media journalist Jamie McIntyre, founder of Australian National Review, has spent the past three years living in Indonesia, where he has rapidly built a significant property portfolio. Operating under his Lux brand in Bali and as co-founder and key backer of the multi-billion-dollar development in Lombok, McIntyre is now believed to be behind three planned mini‑cities that could reshape parts of Indonesia’s tourism and investment landscape.

The proposed developments include:
• NESARA Eco‑Mini‑City  — a visionary, eco‑conscious mini‑city set to be launched soon in Lombok, offering sustainable living with villas, wellness centers, organic farms, and high‑speed infrastructure. It aims to cultivate a community centered on freedom, health, and holistic learning. 
• Harbourside City — believed to be planned for the scenic Blongas area, with a focus on waterfront living, tourism, and local job creation.
• FuturisCity.com — a futuristic urban concept incorporating cutting-edge design and technology for residents and visitors alike.

What the NESARA City Website Adds:

NESARA City is depicted as more than a housing development—it’s a lifestyle ecosystem designed for thoughtful, sustainable living. According to the official site, key features include:
• Eco‑friendly architecture: Homes built using sustainable materials with energy-efficient designs.
• Organic farms and local markets: Promoting self-sufficiency, healthy living, and community orientation.
• Wellness and retreat zones: Featuring spas, healing clinics, and centers for holistic health.
• Remote work infrastructure: Co-working hubs and high-speed internet to support digital nomads and expats.
• Cultural and educational hubs: Focused on creative arts, sustainability, and community learning.
• Recreation and nature: Scenic walking trails, nature parks, and zones for relaxation. 

The website positions NESARA City as a natural complement to Marina Bay City, offering a quieter, greener alternative for those who want to live sustainably rather than just visit. Together, the two developments are envisioned to establish a dynamic growth corridor in southern Lombok, attracting international residents, investors, and talent. 

Why Lombok?

The vision underscores Lombok’s appeal—its unspoiled landscapes, affordability, cultural openness, and pro-investment climate stand in contrast to Bali’s density. Investors and expats from Australia, Europe, and the U.S. are already drawn to its promise of quality of life and personal freedoms. 

Concept Stage and Pending Approvals

All three projects—including NESARA Eco-Mini-City—are currently in the conceptual stage, with development pending formal approval from the Lombok provincial government and relevant Indonesian ministries. Should approvals stall, there’s speculation these concepts could be shifted to other islands eager for foreign investment to drive jobs and local development.
